The Society of American Archivists is launching a profession-wide effort to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence—250 for the 250th—and we want you to join us!

We invite archival repositories across the United States, including all states, territories, and the District of Columbia, to submit one digital/digitized document that showcases the nation’s rich, diverse, and challenging history through the materials we care for in our repositories.

Interest Form<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=Y5KWCzoBdUuoCu8qvrPvFCmexxVCBKZCrKdD8PTa11xUQ0hZSEtKRUE0NDNUSk9QVjhZVEZZSzJSOSQlQCN0PWcu__;!!DZ3fjg!6f8UQv7fCRIkxhl_bPDTRAXMMI7hhfoVR0b4OU9FufDHMlO7x1DBuWwxofNAzYXptWMTR-_vSnEBeAm_FexhepxU1kQu_FcpmiU$ >

American stories are those of courage, violence, idealism, extraction, revolution, solidarity, and transformation. As archivists, we steward and share these stories; we work to broaden the voices and perspectives represented in our collections; we work with our communities to document and care for their own histories. In bringing these archival objects into conversation with each other, we hope to inspire discussions—including difficult ones—about our nation’s history, our values, and our shared future.

Submissions can be in a variety of text, document, photo, or A/V formats. All submissions will be brought together in one publicly accessible and searchable platform that will be live in early 2026. Our goal is to include at least 250 documents in the portal.

Please complete this form<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=Y5KWCzoBdUuoCu8qvrPvFCmexxVCBKZCrKdD8PTa11xUQ0hZSEtKRUE0NDNUSk9QVjhZVEZZSzJSOSQlQCN0PWcu__;!!DZ3fjg!6f8UQv7fCRIkxhl_bPDTRAXMMI7hhfoVR0b4OU9FufDHMlO7x1DBuWwxofNAzYXptWMTR-_vSnEBeAm_FexhepxU1kQu_FcpmiU$ > with your name, institution, and contact information. When our submission portal is live, we will send you an e-mail with guidelines and a link to upload your document and the related metadata to the portal.
